'Mr & Mrs Sailaja Krishnamurthy' Romance blended with comedy
By P. Sreekumaran Film critic, ApunKaChoice.Com
Are you a lover of romantic comedies? If the answer is in the affirmative, then you will find "Mr & Mrs Sailaja Krishnamurthy" delightful to watch.
Krishnamurthy (Sivaji) is an orphan but a non-believer. Circumstances force him to visit Annavaram temple. Murthy, who works for a private channel, runs into Sailaja (Laila).
The
girl intends to pursue higher studies in the United States. Unlike, Krishnamurthy, Shailaja is very religious. In fact, she too is on the way to Annavaram to invoke the blessings of the lord.
As fate would have it, Murthy and Shailaja find themselves having to share a hotel room as the hotel gives accommodation only for couples.
Needless to say, they fall in love. However, they go their separate ways after darshan of the lord. Rest of the story details how the lovers are united in the end.
Sivaji is in his elements as Krishnamurthy. His sense of timing stands him in good stead. It would be no exaggeration to say that Sivaji's flair for comedy, ably assisted by lovely Laila, lifts the film. Dharmavarapu Subramaniam and Tanikella Bharani who plays Laila’s uncle also give a good account of themselves.
It is an excellent debut for music director Rohit Raj as well. The songs stand out for their melody.
Director Sivanageswara Rao has done a competent job by coming out with an eminently watchable film.
